Summary

Patchwork is an event in Stockholm designed for beginners to learn Git and GitHub, with experienced mentors available to guide them through various modules such as GitHub 101, 102, and 103. The workshop offers a relaxed and informal environment, encouraging self-directed learning without the pressure of formal tutorials or extensive note-taking. Participants will have the opportunity to make a merged pull request, gain a contribution square on their GitHub graph, and build confidence in engaging with the open-source community. The event takes place on March 15, 2018, at Klarna, a venue that is accessible and inclusive, with food and refreshments provided for attendees. Both attendees and mentors are encouraged to RSVP, and those new to GitHub are advised to create an account prior to the event to ensure a smooth experience.
